SonicWALL CDP 3440i / 4440i
Getting Started Guide
This Getting Started Guide contains installation procedures and configuration guidelines
for deploying a SonicWALL Continuous Data Protection (CDP) appliance into an existing
or new network.
The SonicWALL CDP appliance backs up data as changes occur and replicates them
first locally and then to a secure offsite location. This real-time data protection provides
the most current file and system backup possible. By combining the advantages of local
disk-based backup (fast recovery) with offsite backup*, the SonicWALL CDP appliance is
the first solution to eliminate - not just mitigate - exposure to threats of data loss.
Please read this entire Getting Started Guide before setting up your
SonicWALL CDP 3440i or SonicWALL CDP 4440i.
Note: For complete documentation, refer to the SonicWALL CDP Administrator’s Guide
and the SonicWALL CDP Agent Tool Guide at:
<http://www.sonicwall.com/support/documentation.html>.
*Offsite backup is offered as a subscription-based service.
